Entry section

Valuation method per item

Select this check box to use different valuation methods for different items.

Note: This check box is disabled if you select Real time APP (Real time Average Purchase Price) at Valuation method. This is because the valuation method of real time APP is only available at a company level and not on a per item basis. Meanwhile, if you select the Valuation method per item check box, Valuation method will be disabled.

Valuation method

Select the valuation method you want to use. By default, the valuation method is set to Standard cost price. There are six options available which include:

• Standard cost price (SCP)
• Standard cost price (Classic) (SCP Classic)
• Average purchase price (APP)
• FIFO (First In First Out)
• LIFO (Last In First Out)
• Real time APP 

Note: If you have the E-Production module, the SCP (Classic)and Real time APP valuation methods are fully supported. However, you can still select other valuation methods but additional steps would be required when performing stock valuation as manual adjustment is needed.

Stock valuation as from last revaluation

Select this check box if you want to use the last revaluation transaction as the starting point for stock valuation and revaluation. By enabling this function, transactions before the last revaluation transaction will not be revalued and referred. However, if there is no prior revaluation transaction available, the first transaction will be used as the starting point for stock valuation and revaluation. As a result of selecting this checkbox, Transaction date under the Criteria section at Inventory ? Warehouse management ? Stock valuation will not be available. This is because the transaction date is no longer applicable as the last revaluation transaction will be used.

Note: This function applies to SCP, SCP (Classic), APP, FIFO, and LIFO valuation methods. This check box is disabled once you have completed the process of cleaning up logistic MRP records. For more information, see How-to: Cleaning Up Logistic MRP Records.

Cost price and stock valuation per house

Select this check box to perform the stock valuation and revaluation for all the valuation methods (except Actual costing) per warehouse.

Stock valuation: Update make item cost price

The logic that will be applied when performing stock valuation at Inventory ? Warehouse management ? Stock valuation for make items when enabling or disabling the setting in combination with the Cost price and stock valuation per warehouse setting is summarized below. For more information, see Performing Stock Valuations.

• Selecting both the Stock valuation: Update make item cost price and the Cost price and stock valuation per warehouse check boxes will update the cost price of the item per warehouse. If the stock valuation is performed for the main warehouse, the cost price of the item will be updated instead.
• Selecting the Stock valuation: Update make item cost price check box but clearing the Cost price and stock valuation per warehouse check box will update the cost price of the item.

Note: The setting is enabled only when the Average purchase price is selected at Valuation method or the Valuation method per item setting is enabled.

If you did not use the warehouse location functionality previously but decide to use it now, you have to ensure that the existing available stock is in the correct location by performing the following:

• Set the stock count to "0" and then select this check box.
• In warehouse maintenance, you will be able to link the items to the warehouse location. However, you have to ensure that the items are stored in the correct location by using the stock count whereby you can assign items to warehouse locations in batches.

Note: This function is available only if you have the E-Warehouse Location module.

Costs: Check related purchase order

Select this check box to check whether the linked purchase order of an internal use request for a cost item has been printed during the fulfillment of the internal use. If the linked purchase order has not been printed, the internal use cannot be fulfilled. A warning message will appear when you click Fulfilled process step at the Internal use screen.

However, if the linked purchase order has been printed, you can fulfill the internal use request. This process will automatically generate receipt for the purchase order at the same time.

If you do not select the check box, the system will not check for the linked purchase order of the internal use request for a cost item. Hence, the internal use request can be fulfilled although the linked purchase order has not been printed.

Note: This function is available only if you have the E-Internal Usage module.
